Phylogenetic trees of Plasmodium parasites rooted with Haemoproteus tartakovskyi. The trees were constructed in RAxML using sequences of 599 concatenated genes (192,181 aligned amino acid positions) shared with other apicomplexan species (left) and 703 concatenated genes (128,738 aligned aa positions) unique to parasites of these genera (right). *100% bootstrap support. Individual gene tree support frequencies (in %) and internode certainties are given under the nodes. Taxon names in blue are bird parasites and in green mammal parasites. The scale bar corresponds to branch lengths in the unit of evolutionary distance. H., Haemoproteus; P., Plasmodium. GeneIDs of the included taxa and for each gene alignment are available in supplementary appendices S1 (left panel) and S2 (right panel), Supplementary Material online.
